Bryan Cranston lost his virginity at age 16 to a prostitute while traveling in Europe with friends, the actor revealed on the latest episode of the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast that aired Monday.
The experience was “traumatic” but “big, emotional, memorable,” the “Breaking Bad” alum recalled to the comedian.
“It was the thing to do,” he said.
Cranston recalled being excited but “nervous as hell” when he visited a brothel in the red light district of Salzburg, Austria. It almost “got nasty” when two of his older friends “made a deal” and “went up.” The future movie star stood in the lobby and pretended she didn’t have enough money, but ended up being led to a room by one of the women.
“I was so nervous that I didn’t feel anything. I was alone, my brain was burning,” Cranston said.
“I’ve since returned to Austria,” he joked later.
